A parking dispute at a Florida Airbnb reportedly intensified into severe road rage, culminating in gunshots when a Porsche driver allegedly shot at another driver who was allegedly “taking too long” to park his truck in a narrow space.

Anthony Christopher Russian, aged 29, has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and using or displaying a firearm during the commission of a felony for allegedly brandishing his weapon at the victim, whose identity has not been disclosed. According to Miami Fox affiliate WSVN, authorities were alerted by a ShotSpotter to gunfire shortly after 11 p.m. on April 11 and found the victim bleeding inside the Airbnb where he was lodged.

The victim reportedly declined an ambulance but instead took himself to a hospital. He spoke to police the next day.

According to police, the victim and Russian encountered each other as the victim was trying to park his Toyota Tacoma in a “narrow” spot near the Airbnb.

Russian was driving a Porsche at the time, according to local ABC affiliate WPLG. He allegedly pulled up as the victim was backing into the space and “began to honk at the victim to hurry him up.”

After the victim parked, he reportedly asked Russian why he was honking.

Russian reportedly responded to the victim that “he was taking too long,” according to the police report cited by WPLG. As the victim approached, Russian allegedly pulled out a gun, “aimed it at the victim’s torso and pulled the trigger.”

Police said that the gun malfunctioned, WPLG reported, even after Russian apparently tried to adjust the chamber.

The victim had turned to walk away when he “heard a gunshot and immediately felt a burning sensation on his right foot,” the WPLG report said.
